Pros

Strong, stable bank in the midst of a financial crisis. I have been impressed with the opportunities I have been able to pursue. Even if I had to push a little harder to have the chance to move up, I still was able to do so. Thank you for that.

Cons

Lousy pay compared to other financial institutes. As a banker, it is very frustrating how difficult it is to have direct lending approve any loans, or lines of credit. I was disappointed with my training. When I started as a teller, I was in the position for over a month before I was able to go to my first training class. When I moved to Personal Banker, I was in the position for 5 months before I went to the first phase of banker school, and even as I write this it was 4 months ago that I completed phase one and have yet to begin phase 2. It seems like I had to be extremely forceful in order to have anything happen.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
